—Since it’s between us, I’ll just write comfortably. Are you doing well?
The letter started in a way that was typical of Lize. It was a writing style that was precariously balanced between comfortable and appropriate.
And I preferred it this way. It would have felt strange if it had started with formal greetings.
Just as it was written in the letter, it was between Lize and me.
—I didn’t intend to write a letter since it feels a bit cheesy to convey my feelings through writing, but something that I absolutely had to tell you suddenly came up.
‘Something that she absolutely had to tell me?’
Had some kind of incident occurred?
If Lize was using that kind of expression, it definitely meant it was something very important.
—I’m pregnant.
“Cough, cough! Hack!”
“Eek! A-are you okay?!”
I started coughing violently as soon as I saw the short sentence written right below.
Nix, startled by the rough coughing sound as if I was coughing up my lungs, hurriedly approached me. Her small hand patted my back.
—Just kidding. I was just joking in case you got too serious, Delta. How is it? Feeling a bit more relaxed?
“I’m so very grateful.”
I trembled, clutching my lungs that felt like they were about to tear apart from the violent coughing, along with Nix’s hand that was patting my back.
To think she would play such a childish prank.
I wouldn’t live to see another day if she joked twice. I grumbled inwardly and continued reading the letter.
—We’re doing fine, so you don’t have to worry about us. You know this is the Imperial Palace. What kind of incident could possibly occur here? That’s the reason why we’re here in the first place.
‘……Well, that’s true.’
Whether in the setting or in the game, the Imperial Palace was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Empire.
Based on the game, not only were protective magic circles that also functioned as traps installed everywhere, but there were also 5 boss-level knights, 10 mid-boss level knights, dozens of elite-level knights, and hundreds of regular knights.
Even the Empress herself was one of the strongest people among humans, along with the Popes and Minerva, so it wasn’t easy for an incident to occur in such a place.
‘There are two people who managed to do it, though.’
One was the protagonist of the human hostility route or the life extermination route, and the other was the Knight Commander of the Golden Twilight Knights.
At least the latter was quickly suppressed depending on the player’s actions, but the former was practically a natural disaster.
—Ah, but the atmosphere is a bit strange these days. You know that guy who had half of his knights taken away by you? His condition is getting worse and worse. He doesn’t even acknowledge us these days.
‘It seems like he’s starting to show his true colors.’
It wasn’t surprising since it was the same as in the game. That NPC’s personality was a lump of inferiority complex even in the game.
He had shown a rather magnanimous side when we first met, but that was only because there was no reason for him to reveal his true personality to the protagonist.
The Silver Dawn Knights had been torn apart and absorbed into his command, and the Knight Commanders had been banished to remote positions in the Empire, so what reason would he have to act petty towards the protagonist, who was just a low-ranking knight?
—Our members said that the atmosphere in the Golden Twilight Knights is also getting worse and worse. Well, what can the knights do when their Commander is throwing a tantrum?
Of course, his magnanimous act would only last until the third meeting at most.
If the player steadily progressed through the Silver Dawn Knights route and started to catch the Emperor’s attention, he would start to reveal his true personality and openly express his jealousy towards the player.
After progressing through the story a little further, and activating the event trigger, he would cause a huge incident because he couldn’t overcome his inferiority complex and appear as a boss monster.
—Seeing how he’s acting, it seems like the size of the Dark Starry Night Knights might double soon, so how about preparing for expansion in advance? Ah, will you also be working at the Imperial Palace by then, Delta?
“…….”
I didn’t know if I should be happy or not about this.
—One last thing. This is the real reason why I’m writing this letter to you. And it’s also the thing I absolutely had to tell you.
I adjusted my posture after seeing the words ‘the thing I absolutely had to tell you’. That meant this was the main point.
—How did you seduce Iris?
What was she talking about?
‘Seduce Iris? Me?’
I looked at the letter again.
A round handwriting that clearly showed signs of being forcefully written. Since each letter clearly showed signs of being written with force, it wasn’t a mistake.
I checked the next sentence, wondering if it was also a joke.
—You’re my man, but you’re quite skilled. Huh? How did you manage to make that blockhead confess to me that she likes you in just a few days?
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a sentence that corrected it as a joke. My eyebrows twitched as I read the letter. I felt a headache coming on.
—Thanks to you, we’re also in a mess. Iris can’t even make eye contact with me, Claudia is laughing, saying that you might even seduce her next, and Erica is saying that she’ll never fall for your seduction, so I don’t have to worry.
‘Why is it a given that I’m seducing them?’
Wasn’t her way of thinking a bit strange?
—But in my experience, the people who say that are usually the first ones to fall. If you want, you can even seduce Erica and we can do it as a threesome. Isn’t it a man’s romance to do it with sisters at the same time?
I paused for a moment after reading up to here and looked away from the letter. I needed time to cool my head.
The temperature difference between the previous sentence and this one was too great.
When I reacted like that, Nix, once again, glanced at me, hiccuping.
I had her sit next to me and stroked her head. It seemed like I needed to calm my mind and body like this.
Nix, no longer glancing at me, purred with a hehe smile.
‘……This is typical of Lize.’
She still had a personality that didn’t hesitate at all when it came to these things.
‘No, even so.’
What kind of older sister would suggest to her man that he seduce her younger sister and have a threesome?
I wondered if Erica even knew about this.
I suddenly became curious about Lize’s reaction if I told her that I had already had a sisters’ rice bowl in the Holy Kingdom, but I decided to just leave it as a question.
It was better not to stir up trouble.
—I have a lot to say, but it’s too uncomfortable to write in a letter. Let’s talk when we meet later, okay?
The ending was unexpectedly a normal sentence. The problem was that everything before that wasn’t normal at all.
I sighed and folded the letter in half twice and put it in my pocket.
If I had known this would happen, I would have asked Stella to bring Iris back when she had run off on her own. This wouldn’t have happened if I had just explained it properly.
I had left her alone, thinking that she wouldn’t misunderstand, but that ‘just in case’ had gotten me again.
‘This situation is strange.’
Lize, the person involved, didn’t seem to be bothered much, but it felt like Iris was the only one who was being careful.
Or maybe they had already had a fight.
“U-uh… are you okay? Hehe.”
Nix, rubbing her face against my hand and purring, glanced at me.
“Well, it’s hard to say for sure. It’s an internal matter of the knight order, so I’m sorry.”
“Hehe… then it can’t be helped. I understand.”
Nix clung to me again and smiled creepily.
‘I don’t know what to say to Lize later.’
It didn’t seem like she was angry that Iris had done that. Or maybe they had already had a fight and she had calmed down.
It was probably closer to the former.
She had just said that she didn’t mind me having multiple women, and she had even written in the letter that I should seduce her younger sister.
‘Should I clear up the misunderstanding first?’
I was wondering if there was any stationery left in the castle.
“Commander! Commander!”
I heard someone banging on the door from outside. They sounded urgent. It was Lakscia’s voice.
“Lakscia? What’s going on?”
“I think you should come out here!”
“……Why?”
“The Imperial Palace sent a lot of things as a token of commendation—”
‘Ah.’
I suddenly remembered Cecilia’s imperial edict that I had forgotten about. The imperial edict that said she would commend me for defeating the demon.
‘……It arrived now?’
It was as if they had planned it together. I wondered if there was even any space left in the castle to store them, and then followed Lakscia to the training grounds with that silly thought.
“Hello! Delta!”
“……Lize?”
And then, I saw Lize, sitting on a carriage, waving at me with a bright smile.
Her armor was neatly placed next to her, and she was wearing the uniform of the Silver Dawn Knights.
Her breasts swayed along with her waving hand beyond the thin white tank top.
Lize jumped down from the carriage. Her breasts jiggled violently, and then quickly returned to their usual calmness.
Her buttocks and thighs that were hidden beneath the dolphin shorts were still as amazing as ever.
“Did you receive the letter?”
“I did, but… how did you get here so soon? It hasn’t even been 10 minutes since I received it.”
“Huh? That’s because I deliberately timed it that way.”
When I asked, Lize nodded.
“I timed it so that it would arrive about 20 minutes before I did, considering the time it would take to reach you. I wanted to surprise you, how is it? Are you touched?”
“……I don’t know about being touched, but I am surprised.”
“Then I’ve achieved my goal!”
Behind the carriage that Lize had jumped down from, two-horse carriages with the Empress’s seal were lined up. I counted them. There were exactly 10, including the one Lize had been on.
How could even this be the same?
We all had dazed expressions. It was only natural since what had happened this morning was happening again.
Especially Lakscia had an expression as if she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
“What’s with that expression?”
Lize also had a bewildered expression since I, the one who had received the gift, was reacting like this.
I thought it would be better to show her directly than to explain it with words, so I took her to the warehouse.
Lize had the same expression as me after seeing the treasures that were overflowing as if they were about to spill out as soon as the door opened.
It was even more so since there seemed to be more and more of them the further inside you went.
“Uh… what is all of this?”
“These are the things I received from the Holy Kingdom. About 6 hours before you arrived.”
“You received them from the Holy Kingdom? Why?”
“……There were some circumstances.”
“Hmm……”
Lize, who had narrowed her eyes and stared at me as if she didn’t like my answer, turned around with an “okay”.
—Click.
The sound of the warehouse door being locked echoed.

I normally like Lize, but it was messed up of her to spoil Iris’s “confession” before Iris could tell Delta herself. You could argue Iris might never get the courage to reveal her feelings or Delta would find out anyway, but it’s still wrong to do it without her permission imo
…if Lize was not Delta’s lover then I could see where you are coming from … but imagine if one of your friends told you that they were in love with your lover
Communication is key to healthy relationships and not telling your lover that your friend is on love with them would be pretty F’d up … people get shot over misunderstandings that can crop up from those situations
Iris has a privilege as the first woman to ever appear to have 5 chapters of intense snu snu
